The situation was once again confusing. Didn’t it be agreed that the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed? Why did the Qing army come to Shanhaiguan again? And compared to the sudden emergence of Dongjiang, the eight banners of the Jianzhou savages of Changbai Mountain left a more painful impression on the ministers of the Ming Empire. Just like when Chen Xinjia was there, Zhang Guowei was not in the Ministry of War, and the news was sent directly to the pond report, and it was impossible to hide it. That night, the news of the Shanhaiguan beacon was known to everyone in the court. It is estimated that tomorrow's grand dynasty meeting would have to stir up the city.

The Ming Dynasty was really like a broken ship on the verge of sinking. It had just calmed down for a while and was storm again.

That night, the Honglu Temple and the State Hotel.

The mission of this human flesh soundtrack was completed, and there were about a hundred Jinyiwei guards outside. All Ma Shaoyu left was to eat and wait for death. His fate was not in his own hands. It all depends on how the big men from Dongjiang and the court played against each other. He was a little loach and was waiting to stew soup or release animals. Fortunately, the Honglu Temple was well received. In the evening, he was the top card of Daqianmen and offered good wine and meat. In the middle of the night, he could still hear the slutty scholar's swaying voice.

"Come on, girl, give me another drink!"

Bang bang bang bang...

The door suddenly rang, and Ma Shaoyu, who was half drunk, shouted impatiently: "I have no time, I'll give you a gift if you have something to do, I'll come again tomorrow!"

The door was kicked open directly, what does it mean to be arrogant at the beginning and be respectful at the end? Seeing two Jinyiwei men coming in with murderous intent and letting go of the two top cards, Lord Ma was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Masters, can you bring me a memorial to the emperor? Xiaguan is really not the messenger of the thief of Dongjiang. Xiaguan is a member of the court after his life, and a ghost of the court after his death!"

"snort!"

The Jinyiwei took a step aside and snorted coldly. Li Jiantai, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, walked in gloomyly, glanced at Ma Shaoyu who was lying on the ground, and said with contempt.

"It's not too late to lose your head yet, and it's not too late to cry again when the emperor gives you white silk!"

If you want to say that Li Jiantai is indeed a good person, he swept away the wine and food plates on the table, and went there with a full aura. Then he asked in an official voice.

"I asked you, Dongjiang really defeated Dongkai and recovered Kaiyuan Tieling?"

"Return to the Grand Secretary, I really regained the Kaitien. The old officials personally experienced it. When they broke into the Iron Ridge, the old officials were charged in front of the army and were shot with cannon fodder. Now they still have an arrow on their bodies!"

After he rolled and crawled back, Ma Shaoyu lifted his clothes up, but Li Jiantai didn't care about his outfit, and then asked with a gloomy face.

"Then the great victory in Jilin City you mentioned is true?"

"It's true! The officials at that stop also participated, but this time they didn't become cannon fodder. On that day, tens of cannons in Dongjiang were fired, and they directly smashed the Jiannu's camp! Then the soldiers rushed up with bayonets, and the murderer was coming!"

"There are so many? The emperor wants to send someone to test the head and remember the merits! If there weren't so many, the position of Liao King that your family Mao Dongjiang would be lingering!"

"The head test? It's a bit lingering. Jiannu has been attacked for a month and the army has been infected with the plague. In order to fight the plague, the head test is buried after it is tested."

"But all the eight main banners of the East Abducted Eight Banners were captured by Dongjiang, as well as Huang Taiji's full guard of ceremonial guards, three sides of fake seals, and more than 500 military flags of all sizes. These can be checked. If you really have to check the head, then dig the dead pit, the meat inside will rot, and the hair will not rot. There are definitely more than 100,000 braids!"

His old face was red and he patted his chest. Ma Shaoyu shouted and sweared, but Li Jiantai couldn't help but mutter.

"Then why are these Eastern Abductees still...?"

"Grandmaster, what is the Eastern Agent! As long as the head is tested, will my supervisor be stable in the throne of Liao?"

Just now, he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty and a ghost of the Ming Dynasty. He turned around and became my supervisor. The shameless spirit of this civil servant of the Ming Dynasty was amazing, but Li Jiantai ignored him and nodded dullly. Then he turned around and stood up, and actually walked straight outside.

"What does this mean? Is it OK or not?"

Seeing the Jinyiwei and the neurotic grandson waved their sleeves and not taking away a cloud, Ma Shaoyu was stunned to look at the closed door. After a while, this guy hummed in anger.

"Forget it, Mr. Guan is the bird matter, it's true that you are having fun in time. Hahahaha, beauty, I'm here again!"

His arms were spread out like an old hen. This guy was a standard villain supporting role in the movie and rushed towards several top-notch prostitutes.

…………

After a circle of the Honglu Temple, Li Jiantai actually returned to the palace again. Moreover, when the palace was locked at night, Chongzhen opened a green passage for him, got a large earth basket for pigs from the imperial kitchen, and transferred a Grand Secretary to the platform. Several old guys were still waiting for him. Chongzhen's red eyes were also staring at his face at the first time.

"how?"

The pretentious power just now disappeared completely, and Li Jiantai also slapped and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and replied.

"Your Majesty, this Ma Shaoyu is also a small character. He doesn't know the news that is too important, but from his tone, Dongjiang has indeed won at least two victories, and it is impossible to fake it if he takes back Kaiyuan Tieling. In this way, the East Abduct Eight Banners gathered in the Shanhaiguan area are all defeated generals."

"Maybe it was forced by the Dongjiang thief and wanted to make a loss on my Ming Dynasty land!"

This is really an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. If you take the plane out of the customs, not only will you annihilate the Qing army, defeat them, and take back Jinzhou, not only will you change the diplomatic pattern against Dongjiang. Zhang Guowei and Wei Zaode and other old guys obviously thought of this level, and their eyes lit up.

But then, another more practical question was thrown in front of him, and there was a hint of excitement on his face. The emperor looked at his "strong ministers" eagerly and asked hurriedly.

"Who will supervise the army to attack the robbery?"

Once again, the lively atmosphere on the platform turned into an awkward silence. Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zheng Chongjian, and even Yang Sichang, who had gone out to supervise the army, did not have a good ending. For Zhang Guowei, the Ministry of War, his senior Zhang Fengyi was a living example, so desperate that he died of obeying Dahuang.

Moreover, the Qing army was defeated, and the Ming army was the first line of defense in the capital, Jizhen had been destroyed by the east, but the Wu Sangui soldiers in Shanhaiguan, which could be fought, also experienced the defeated army of the Songjin Battle. No one had the confidence to defeat the Eight Banners of the Qing army, even the defeated army.

As he knelt down and fell silent, Chongzhen's face became gloomy again, and with anger, his shoulders began to tremble violently.

"Your Majesty, it's a big deal. It's a big deal. It's not something that can be decided in a hurry. I think it's better to wait for the resolution with the ministers at the tomorrow's grand dynasty meeting!"

After all, he was the chief minister of the cabinet and was very good at his ability. Before Chongzhen got angry, Chen Yan kowtowed heavily.

"What the Chief Aunt said is very important. I'll be ready tonight."

For fear of being pushed out to supervise the army, Zhang Guowei kept kowtowing.

There was no one in the six cabinet departments who could stand up and take on the task. Chongzhen was finally disappointed. He turned around in exhaustion and was disheartened, and waved his hands to the like of catching flies behind him.

"Go down!"

"I will obey the order."

…………

They came out again with a large earth basket of pigs, and the sedan chairs from several families were also waiting there faithfully. Several big men looked at each other speechlessly, hugged each other's fists, and then left in scattering.

It was already late at night, almost at what time in the morning, but Li Jiantai still didn't return home. Unlike Chen Yan and Wei Zaode and others who came from either Jiangnan, Sichuan or Zhili, Li Jiantai was born in Shanxi, Quwo landlord, and the hometown of Shanxi merchants. His family can be considered half of the merchants of Shanxi.

In the capital, there is a shop run by his family brother Li Jianyun.

After leaving the palace, he headed straight for Li Jianyun's shop.

In the middle of the night, even the hard-working and hardworking shop in Shanxi had already closed. The servant knocked on the door for a long time, and then he had a job rubbing his blurred eyes and crawling out impatiently.

"Who? I haven't been sleeping all night long ago. What should I buy? I'm going to buy... Oh, Mr. San, why are you here? Open the door quickly and pour tea! Xiao Liuzi, why are you calling the boss!"

Still silent, Li Jiantai flashed into the door in a hurry.

Shanxi merchants seemed to be carved from the same mold, wearing not very expensive local cloth robe. The most expensive one on their body was the piece of green on the front of the melon-skin hat on their heads. This mold was grabbed in the capital, but it was really impossible to tell that it was a wealthy businessman who had a price of hundreds of thousands of taels, and had a shop that drove from Shanxi to the capital and then to Jiangnan.

This year is the official position. Even if he is a clan brother, he would have to tremble when he saw Li Jiantai, the high-ranking official, and slapped himself twice in the face, causing the confused sleepiness to be gone. Only then did Li Jianyun come up with a smile.

"Brother Fu Yu, what wind has blown you to Brother Wei?"

As always, his university morale was as generous as gold. He sat down at the small flower pavilion where the light had just been lit, and still had a stern face. Li Jiantai asked gloomyly: "Brother Yunzhong, your business seems to have reached Dongjiang!"

"A small half of the cloth in our shop came into Dongjiang. What's wrong? Could it be that the road on Dongjiang has made some taboos recently? The court is going to close the road, or what?"

When Li Jianyun's thin, old face as thin as a fried dough stick suddenly became nervous. Now looking at Jiangnan, most of the low-end cloth markets are monopolized by Dongjiang's cheap woven fabrics. Getting goods in Tieshan is more than 10% cheaper than Shaanxi local cloth. If Dongjiang's supply is cut off, he will be really paying a lot.

"What do you think of Dongjiang?"

He was still showing off with a pity, and still gloomy and gloomy look. Li Jiantai continued to ask. His heart and appetite were suffocated, but he couldn't get an answer. Li Jianyun's old fried dough stick was as uncomfortable as pickled radish, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only nod his head with Qiqiai Ai.

"That place is a good place! It used to be a wild place, but it has developed too fast in recent years. Tieshan City spread from Tieshan to the harbor, and its prosperity is no less than the south of the Yangtze River. Maodongjiang is doing a lot of business. There are thirty or forty Western ships docking every year, bringing a lot of Western things, including the Silla maids of the Li family from North Korea, the Japanese female geisha from Japan, and the hot spring hotels in the area of ​​Baima City are even more unique."

Peach blossoms appeared on his cheeks, and the old fried dough sticks' face was filled with spring light, as if they were remembering something lewd. His old face was filled with joy.

"Especially, Dongjiang is cheap, the market price of white wine and cigarettes is less than 30%, and cloth and ironware are even cheaper. We have to put them on the children when they are old, and they throw them away when they are old. I heard that they specially tamed a kind of giant beast, which sprays black smoke on the mouth, and is extremely powerful. They are all giant beasts who smelter textiles. It is many times faster than us pushing spinning wheels. In Dongjiang, there are also several pawn shops who have purchased old clothes and sold them in the pass, which has made a lot of money."

"It's not just our family, Yingtian Bao Duke, Cheng Duke, Wang Eunuch Wang, Chen Eunuch, and Lord Liu are all making money on this road!"

Li Jianyun's words were only half heard. Even if he was a family member, he understood the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, especially in the last words, Li Jianyun was simply saying that this business road was too deep and the court should not use his brains.

But from one side, Dongjiang's strength is also reflected.

The prime minister's grandeur just now suddenly weakened a lot in an instant. Li Jiantai's voice lowered a little and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Yunzhong, do you think this Dongjiang can succeed?"

"Success..., success?"

This is too taboo. Li Jianyun is just a businessman. He never thought about this big thing about rebellion. He almost bit his tongue at once.

"Brother Fuyu, what are you going to do?"

"Then Mao Jue of Dongjiang is ambiguous. He is not satisfied with being a warlord. He wants to establish a country in Liaodong. He has sent someone to the court a few days ago to ask for the position of King Liao! But what kind of character of the emperor can do, how could he agree easily?"

"But yesterday, the border again reported emergency military information, Jianjiao gathered at Shanhaiguan, and that situation could break through at any time. If the general trend is confusing today, the Central Plains are in the fall of the capital. In Shaanxi, the court has only one family and restrained millions of rebels. I wonder if it can be held back. Zuo Liangyu in Huguang survived there, and Sichuan made Zhang thief fuss. Our Li family also had to think about the way out!"

Zhou Yanru expected it was really good. After showing strength and muscles in Dongjiang, some of the Ming bureaucrats began to be moved. At least Li Jiantai was one of them. In the horrific gaze of his brother, Grand Secretary Li's voice became increasingly low and more heart-wrenching.

"He Mao Jue wants the King of Liao, and His Majesty is now undecided. He can take this risk for his brother to help him, but this help cannot be in vain. Brother, you are traveling to Dongjiang. Are there any people who can speak in Dongjiang? You have to let them bear this kindness!"

If others say that the Ming Dynasty is not working, Li Jianyun probably not only sneered, but also had to take him to see the officials. It would be a witch that deceived the public and rebelled! But this clan brother in front of him was a great scholar in Wuying Palace and one of the top bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty. He was not optimistic about the Ming Dynasty. This ship was indeed broken and about to sink. He, a small businessman, had his heart as if he was struck by lightning.

After a long time of silence, Li Jianyun scratched her head with difficulty.

"Let me think about it."

…………

If it were in the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinyiwei and Li Jianyun would have lost several of his heads. However, when Zhu Youjian came to power, in order to deal with Wei Zhongxian, he would have slashed the Jinyiwei power force. In addition, the power of the civil servant group expanded. In fact, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the secret agencies of the Jinyiwei East Factory had long lost their majesty and ability at the beginning of the founding of the country and became a game between powerful ministers and eunuchs. Just like when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was not allowed to command the Jinyiwei to court. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, the Jinyiwei became a lackey of eunuchs. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei had a dim halo.

When the capital fell, the magical Jinyiwei almost never showed up. Chongzhen even had to entrust the prince and King Yong to his father-in-law Tian Hongyu. The father-in-law sold his grandson to Li Zicheng. Fortunately, he had a secret conversation in the shop for the middle of the night. Li Jiantai, who was out in a hurry, paid no attention. He walked around the entrance of Mishi and ate some breakfast. After staying up all night, Li Jiantai went straight to the Forbidden City and came to the train.

Moreover, among the people who attended court today, there seemed to be many people who were thinking about him. Most of the ministers were filled with panic and worried, and these expressions were particularly unique.

Just as there was a quiet discussion, the eunuch's sharp voice, dragging his old-fashioned voice, opened again.

"It's time for Mao to come, the palace gate is opened, and all the ministers go to court!"
Chapter completed!
